If VAR hadn't been introduced, we'd have avoided all this futile debate, splitting hairs over millimetres on playbacks, blaming everyone else, and spoiling goal celebrations, looking for "contact".
I'd like to know what actual good VAR has done.
I know a lot of bad it has done.
Was it all worth it?
Where's the game I loved? (Note the past tense)
Spot on. We should have had at least one penalty on Saturday and they should have been down to ten men for the last 15 minutes. The media decide what will and what won't be shown on a loop and this decides the agenda that the powers that be follow. We know, Pep knows, the players know and I hope our owners know.Wasn't it just a "strong" challenge from Vinny, similar to VVD's "strong" challenge on Calvert-Lewin, imagine if Vinny's challenge had been in the penalty box, I think the scousers would have had a penalty awarded. It's just double standards all the way. I'd love to see a collage of video clips from Micah's "handball" in the League Cup semi-final upto Utd's "handball" decisions against us on Saturday and the tactical foul on Sterling late on in the game when he was chopped down. Run this on a loop on Skysports under the title, "Spot the difference", Or "when is a foul not a foul". Even throw in the systematic fouling carried out by certain teams on our players...I know sometimes we aren't at it and a team has outplayed us and beaten us, but as everyone on here says when you lose the game and don't have any of 4 or 5 VAR decisions either go for you or not have any explanation at the time why the decisions are what they are then you do start to lose interest in the game.
Teams being fucked over by VAR ;-
Man City - owners from Abu Dhabi
Wolves - owners from China
Sheff Utd - owners from Saudi Arabia
Aston Villa - Egyptian owner
Teams gaining from VAR ;-
Man Utd - American owners
Liverpool - American owners
Spurs - UK owners
That's horseshit. We have been screwed as many times by VAR as we have benefitted.
Absolutely. They could have said Liverpool's shot crossed the line too with goal line technologyMate, decisions go against all teams. There’s no conspiracy set up to stop City.
Last season, Liverpool could point to a red card not given to Kompany in the biggest game of the season amongst other decisions...
I think they get it wrong a lot, and sometimes some sides go through tougher spells with decisions, but to suggest they’re acting differently to stop City winning the league is mad.

Sometimes you have to put your hands up and say injuries a new poor form are taking their toll
i can name three off the top of my head where spurs have benifitted

So that letter confirms that English referees are ignoring the new offside rule and have put their own unique spin on things compared to the rest of the world which is based purely on opinions not facts. Presumably that's also why they are happy to spend three or four minutes trying to disallow a goal instead of the 30 seconds it would take for the ref to use the monitor and make the fair decision.He said he couldn't comment on specific incidents. Here are some direct quotes:
This 'spirit/intention' of the Law is where the problem lies. It becomes someone's subjective opinion, instead of an absolute. This subjectivity can be applied differently to each team, depending on some background hidden agenda.
